    buying from dish

    Funny, that something they charge $7.00 a month a customer just to lease is worth nothing to them. Proves the price charged is bogus. I think DISH should of made the charges a "pay as you go" system and once the customer paid off the cost of the joey, the monthly charges stop. You own the...

    Peacock jacking their rates even higher!

    It is added into your Sling TV GUIDE and you can access the channels from there and if recorded over the DVR portion of the Sling TV app. All in one. You have to add your ota channels into the app using the Sling TV app and then they are there when you want to watch them. Just like the Ota...

    Peacock jacking their rates even higher!

    I use the Air Tv Anywhere - 4 tuner Dvr, with my antenna and it is all integrated in the Sling TV app. Record all 4 networks if I want. I use my Roku and the remote control and I can switch from that Sling TV app to the Netflix app or the Tubi app or Pluto all in one interface. I prefer...

    Peacock jacking their rates even higher!

    I don't watch Peacock and only took it for the first year there was a Saved by the Bell reboot and after that show was over dropped it like a rock. Never went back. At this rate give me my Sling TV with my ota antenna + the $5.00 unlimited DVR feature and Tubi for free content and I'm good...

    YouTube TV Drops Disney’s ABC, ESPN and Other Networks After Two Sides Fail to Reach New Deal

    Thank God for my ota antenna and TABLO ota dvr. I would hate to lose ABC, but who would miss the other channels? I know I don't watch any of those.

    Paramount +

    Considering they don't play music much anymore, I wouldn't care one bit. It is from a different time like the 80s, when music videos first were popular. Now I watch You tube for those videos.

    Satellite Capacity, Picture Quality

    55 inches On the B-3 model. They were selling them cheaper late last year I think it was at the Walmart app online. Seems to be a pattern with LG. They come out with a new model and then push the older models out at discounted prices.

    I "wonder" if it will be any good. ;)

    Red carpet service

    Boy the lnb eyes are much bigger then the triple lnb. I wonder if the strength of signal is any higher with this one, since you don't have to see all 3 anymore?

    Satellite Capacity, Picture Quality

    I notice now that since I switched to an LG OLED 4k TV, my picture looks great on all devices I hook up to it. My old Hopper 3 that I use for ota recording only now, looks great on ota channels. Even METV in SD looks sharp and clear. There is no artifacts in the background on dark shots...

    Got a new to me tv!!

    ...screen back in the day and my brother n law didn't lock it down with the bungee cord in his flat bed truck and it went crashing down when he stopped at a stop sign. So we ended up throwing it away. :oops: *LOVE my LG OLED TV. Makes all other TVs that I have had look pale in comparison. ;)

    EchoStar / Dish’s Path Forward

    Maybe they can offer the streaming version of their service and they won't need the satellites for home service except in very rural areas with no broadband. I keep saying merge both Sling TV and DISH together for a streaming interface that looks like DISH, but keep the Sling TV programming...

    Got a new to me tv!!

    I loved the 942 dvrs. I had two of them back then and they worked very well. Then they did away with them. They had name based recording and worked great with mpeg 2. The 921 pvr was a nightmare for me and so was the 811 HD receiver. Kept both of them on a surge protector so I could flip...

    EchoStar / Dish’s Path Forward

    I have to agree they need to focus on their video business since the 4th cell phone provider company plans are now gone. I think that could include buying Directv and merging the two companies and hopefully making it attractive again to new subs like they said in the article. I guess we...

    EchoStar / Dish’s Path Forward

    We don't have any in my immediate area. Conn's Appliances was a company most in our area relied on for over 75 years and they went belly up this last year. So it's between Lowes, Home Depot and Best Buy. Sears is long gone. Between all these big stores, they pushed out any small mom/pop...

    Disney announces price increases to streaming products

    There's a guy who is all about 3.0 on You tube and he said the sticking point is that the ota channels in 3.0 will use encryption, which doesn't allow recording them. The FCC has already told channel owners if they want to go to 3.0 and drop their 1.0 HD signal they can do so. But if we...

    EchoStar 25 @110W as early as 1st Quarter 2026.

    ma Maybe Charlie plans on buying up Directv and the satellites transponders by this time next year and then he gets all the transponders to himself. DISH will be in a better place to buy it by then and probably even has the money to do it without financing , once his deals with Space X and...

    EchoStar / Dish’s Path Forward

    They sent the text message on the 7th, that the delivery date was set for the 24th. *I changed the wording in the original post to say that more clearly.

    EchoStar / Dish’s Path Forward

    Here is the path forward I heard about. Sounds like Charlie is in in the cat bird seat for the future. Might not of happened if FCC Brendan Carr hadn't pressured him like he was doing. I think he will buy Directv now. But if no plan to make satellite TV more attractive to customers and...
